14:21 And Roboam son of Solomon ruled over Judah. Roboam was forty and one
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in the city
Jerusalem, which Yehovah chose to put his name there out of all the tribes
of Israel: and his mother's name [was] Naama the Ammonitess.
14:22 And Roboam did evil in the sight of Yehovah; and he provoked him in
al the things which their fathers did in their sins which they sinned.
14:23 And they built for themselves high places, and pillars, and [planted]
groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
14:24 And there was a conspiracy in the land, and they did according to all
the abominations of the nations which Yehovah removed from before the
children of Israel.
14:25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim
king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
14:26 and took all the treasures of the house of Yehovah, and the treasures
of the king's house, and the golden spears which David took out of the hand
of the sons of Adrazaar king of Suba, and brought them into Jerusalem, even
all that he took, [and] the golden shields which Solomon had made, [[and
carried them away into Egypt.]]
14:27 And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them; and the chiefs of
the body guard, who kept the gate of the house of the king, were placed in
charge over them.
14:28 And it came to pass when the king went into the house of Yehovah,
that the body guard took them up, and fixed them in the chamber of the body
guard.
14:29 And the rest of the history of Roboam, and all that he did, behold,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
14:30 And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam continually.
14:31 And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in
the city of David: and Abiu his son reigned in his stead. |
14:1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam
fell sick.
14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise
thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to
Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be
king over this people.
14:3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and
go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
14:4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to
the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by
reason of his age.
14:5 And Yehovah said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to
ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou
say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign
herself to be another woman.
14:6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in
at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou
thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Yehovah Elohim of Israel, Forasmuch as I
exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people
Israel,
14:8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee:
and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments,
and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in
mine eyes;
14:9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone
and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and
hast cast me behind thy back:
14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and
will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that
is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house
of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
14:11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him
that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for Yehovah hath
spoken it.
14:12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet
enter into the city, the child shall die.
14:13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of
Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good
thing toward Yehovah Elohim of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14:14 Moreover Yehovah shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut
off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
14:15 For Yehovah shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and
he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their
fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made
their groves, provoking Yehovah to anger.
14:16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did
sin, and who made Israel to sin.
14:17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when
she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
14:18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the
word of Yehovah, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the
prophet.
14:19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he
reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Israel.
14:20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he
slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty
and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in
Jerusalem, the city which Yehovah did choose out of all the tribes of
Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an
Ammonitess.
14:22 And Judah did evil in the sight of Yehovah, and they provoked him to
jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their
fathers had done.
14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every
high hill, and under every green tree.
14:24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to
all the abominations of the nations which Yehovah cast out before the
children of Israel.
14:25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak
king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of Yehovah, and the
treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all
the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
14:27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed
them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the
king's house.
14:28 And it was so, when the king went into the house of Yehovah, that the
guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
14:29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers
in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And
Abijam his son reigned in his stead. |
